Has anyone tried using the shaping tool in issue 74? I'm finding it pretty useless in terms of removing wood. Or is there some knack to using it. I'm thinking of making up strip lengths from separate pieces of wood.

hi there, yep I found it works a treat, just draw it towards you at an angle of 45 degrees for about 50-100 times,and it shapes really well,good luck, k.

Hi there, I found it to be pretty good once I got the hang of how to use it..... Found you have to draw it across the wood at an angle, the angle should be in the direction you are moving plus a fair amount of pressure needs to be applied......
